The above came out on the day that Samsung said it still believes its folding phones will be a ‘driving force’: it’s preparing to relaunch Galaxy Fold after initial problems (The sets tech reviewers received cracked when folded.)

Seriously, people who used to like Samsung smartphones are not happy. Friends have complained that newer models are not well made: niggering, irritating faults. A family of Samsung users moved on after this incident: family member’s one week old Samsung had water contamination problems after she wore it on her arm band and went jogging with it. Her sweat penetrated into the phone and Samsung would not replace it even though it was only one week old. Not covered by warranty: fault of user staff claimed.
